Fx!  It is too bad that this hasn't become a talking point in the election.  At least, not from what I've seen.  Apparently how a woman dresses is more important right now.

Ohip is the Ontario health plan, it's not something the federal government deals with

The point was that we hope the rest of the country follows suit. The federal government gives the provinces billions each year to carry out health care programs and regularly puts conditions on the funding. A party leader could easily say they will promise x amount of dollars to each province to fund IVF treatments. The province can reject the money, but doubtful.
